Good People !
East Africa is very important and is a focal point for Emerging Markets in the world.
Political Leadership engagements to providing Responsibility with integrity, Security, Law and Order as the genesis drivers to Unity and Peace in pursuit for happiness; is therefore extremely very important for moving forward progressively.
While I stand tall in supporting President Kikwetes stand over President Kagames’ instigation bully in the Region, the following should be observed:
1) providing security for all is crucial. Shoot to kill by police is unacceptable. The Police must not take laws in their own hands. The law must charge the Police who shot the Radical Preacher Ponda and the law should instead be applied to charge Ponda.
2) Dar could take the lead in East Africa’s Industrial Hub progressiveness for the World Emerging Markets, and Public Corporations system must be made functional through strict Government Departments’ Regulations that put Public Mandate and needs top of any negotiation deals. This includes observing all tenets of Human Rights, Security and protection.
3) Since Kagame and Museveni are both sneaky bullies, we all must unite to put them on checks. As much as Kagame wants to provide for his Rwandese people, all other leaders too have responsibilities to provide for their people. So all want a freer conducive environment where all play fair for the goodness of all and Museveni and Kagame must not be given chance to steal or acquire Port Kismayu and Migingo for their evil plan of selfish greed. We must not allow Museveni and Kagame to acquire the Port of Kismayu and Migingo for Salim Saleh to destroy East Africa for their selfish greed.
4) All Rebel Groups and Mercenaries including Salim Salehs’ must be condemned and be forced to face justice for all evils with instability caused in the Great Lakes of East Africa.
5) United Nations led by Ban-Ki-Moon must show Responsibility with Integrity by pushing for quick Returns with good Results, instead of compromising and playing dummy in slackness that fuel rising of insecurity, loss of Lives and rapping of women and children. This is abuse of Sovereign territorial invasion, that have been witnessed and believed to have been a long engineered conspiracy planned to open opportunity avenues that aids evil to benefit Special Business Interest greed. This is unacceptable and we all will stand against this type of behavior.
People of Africa too want to enjoy Liberty in pursuit for happiness and when this is achieved, the world will be a happy place to live. We must all face reality and know that, Unity for Peace is crucial to all….
Cheers everybody…….!!!

In Summary
He accused Rwanda’s leaders of making inflammatory statements that have sent engagement between the two members of East African Community to its lowest levels
Dar es Salaam. For the first time, President Jakaya Kikwete yesterday admitted that relations between Tanzania and Rwanda were tense but maintained it was not in the interest of his government to escalate the situation.
In a carefully worded address to the nation, Mr Kikwete expressed concern about Rwanda’s unease with him personally and the leadership of Tanzania in general, but played down fears that the matter could further strain the two countries’ relations.
The President said any hard feelings against him in the neighbouring country were misplaced and amounted to unfair and unwarranted criticism of a friendly nation such as Tanzania.
The head of state used the traditional end of the month speech to speak out on a matter that has in recent months raised political temperatures in the region and there were fears thatit could boil over into a full-blown conflict.
“I have been shocked and dismayed at the verbal attack and criticism levelled against me by Rwandan officials,” Mr Kikwete said. “What they are doing and saying does not reflect the true position …. (it is) completely out of proportion and out of context.”
He accused Rwanda’s leaders of making inflamamatory statements that have sent engagement between the two members of the East African Community to its lowest levels. Without naming them, the President said: “Utterances of Rwandan leaders towards me and our country is evidence of that (turbulent relations).”
The origin of the war of words between Kigali and Dar would appear to be President Kikwete’s recent suggestion that Rwanda should negotiate with the rebels fighting it from bases in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Kigali has been greatly offended by Mr Kikwete’s call during the last AU Summit in Addis Ababa, with state officials and the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front operatives going into overdrive in their rejection of the appeal.
Rwanda’s minister for Foreign Affairs, Ms Louise Mushikiwabo, was the seniormost official to speak against Mr Kikwete. She equated Mr Kikwete’s remarks with defending those accused of the 1994 genocide against the minority Tutsi. Bloggers from both sides have also traded barbs and taken the stand-off to a higher level–which probably explains Mr Kikwete’s move to break the ice.
In his address yesterday, Mr Kikwete declared that his call for dialogue had been misunderstood. He said he had restrained himself as there was no reason to jump on each other’s throats or escalate a non-issue. “Two wrongs do not make a right,” he added.
The President said he had chosen to ignore insults from Rwanda in the best interest of the people of the two nations.
“It is not because I do not know how to speak or that I do not have anything to say,” he added. “I haven’t done so because I do not see its benefit.I want to assure my fellow Tanzanians and our Rwandan friends that I, my government and the people of Tanzania want to have good relations and close cooperation with Rwanda as we have with all our neighbours.”
He pledged that Tanzania would continue pursuing and nurturing good neighbourliness and foreign policies.
